Majority of people getting infected right now are un-vaccinated.
If natural immunity provided such strong protection, where are all these people coming from? Between vaccines and natural immunity (we probably had at least third of people in the US infected by now), I would think we should be approaching almost everybody having immunity, yet we still have massive numbers of people getting infected each day.
